Situated between a personal artifact and ubiquitous object, Node is a multifunctional light tool for creatives. It creates a space for a variety of task completion. It is an on-desk workspace that acts as a desk light, light table, and a study timer.

The back splash lights up so that it illuminates the work space for completing analog tasks as well as providing a back light that contrasts the on screen glow from the user's computer. The light is most intense at the bottom and fades into a diffused filter near the top as to not be too harsh on ones eyesight.

A system for chronicling and exploring user generated soundscapes and their corresponding physical environments.

Employing user-generated soundscapes embedded into public spaces, Soundmark is unique in its ability to explore the history and culture of public spaces, either by recording a soundmark, or listening to previously recorded soundmarks within these spaces. It’s significance lies within the user’s emotional response to these soundscapes, which is of course unique to each individual user. It creates a new narrative, both individual and shared, within each public space that a user chooses to explore.

Berggasse 19 is a conceptual ebook project that takes the user through a mock Freudian therapy session. The name Berggasse 19 is derived from the Venetian address of Sigmund Freud's practice of psychoanalytic theory.

The images are from documented photographs of Freud's office and have been altered and transformed into engaging interactive elements.
